I appreciate this video so much. The battery on my pint does seem like the capacity has shrank to the point that my range has reduced considerably and after watching this video I am one of those people who would unplug it once the light was green. I also usually charge my one wheel to the 100% mark and keep it there even through winter of like 3 months of not using my board. I'm glad to know that I can do something about it by balancing the cells and have learned a great deal about how to properly care for a battery. Thanks!

At least for the Pint, if you leave the board and app on when you start charging, you can monitor the voltage and temperatures. The battery temperature increases as it charges. When the light on the charger turns green, the temperature starts to drop, and the regen amps start to level out. This starts to happen around the ~97% battery mark. So when your charger is green, you're not really there.

@@miguelsalazar9147 Mine doesn't turn red right away when the app indicates 100%. It takes about 15 more minutes. Does the green LED turn on when the charger is plugged into the wall, but not the board? It should turn red when you plug it in to the board. If not, your power supply may be broken. Or the green LED is burned out. But you say it keeps charging well over 100%. How do you know this? The newer app does not give you enough diagnostic information to tell you current is being drawn at any point in the charging cycle. My original post does not apply anymore yo the new app. Measure the current going to the power supply (117 VAC) at the beginning of charging. When the app says it's 98% full, start monitoring the current again. If the current slows down, then I suspect it's your LED. Everything else is working. How many miles do you have on your board? After a while (2000 miles on mine) , my battery was doing strange things. Like going from 17% full to 0% within a few feet. Yeah, I'm still not happy about that nose-dive. Or charging, and staying at 100% no matter what - which is a bummer because the new updated app with haptic buzz, shuts the board down. And you have to cycle power every ten feet. Can you borrow a charger from a friend? To see if it's the charger, or the Onewheel that is broken. Or you can buy a new charger, and if it still does not work, see if FM will buy the charger back. Or take note of how long it takes to charge a battery. Then put the charger on a timer and charge it, with the timer timing out at the right moment. You can be conservative and guess a time for 95%. After that, monitor as you have been. As a side note, the LED my just be burned out. It's rare, but if you take the charger apart, and troubleshoot the LED, let us know how you too it apart. The power supplies are sealed well. To test the LED, make sure the green LED is disconnected, and apply the appropriate voltage and current. For the proper voltage and current, you can use a 9-volt battery in series with a 360-390 ohms. Now that I think about it, the LEDs may be in a single package. There will be three prongs coming from the LED package. Connect the LEDs in parallel. If the green and red LEDs turn on, then the green LED is good. But this does not necessarily mean the power is not broken. If you don't know too much about electronics, seek guidance. It's too easy to brick your board if you do something wrong. Good luck, float on my friend. PS: After saving my money, I purchased a second Pint (at $750 I could not resist), and a GT. My original Pint since then has been a garage ornament. I did not ride for about 4 months - oh the pain. Now I have a backup.

That moves the arc from expensive components to essentially a disposable component. My charging protocol is to plug the charger into my unpowered board, then flip the in-line AC switch. The charger and switch are left plugged into the wall outlet all the time.

I feel like part of the problem with OW charging for most people is that they generally don't have a way to see/know exactly how balanced the cells are in their battery. Last weekend, I asked a OW group on Facebook about how I might be able to actually see what each cell is at so that I know just how balanced the battery pack is. The Onewheel app from FM doesn't give such info, and the group on FB directed me to the OWCE app. Problem solved in that regard. While watching this video, my Pint was on the stock charger, and I decided to unplug it and check the apps right after the light turned green. Sure enough, the cells weren't totally balanced (or fully charged by the looks of it), and they were around 4.13 or 4.14 volts each. Having watched this vid as well as checking OWCE, now I know I've been unplugging the OW far too soon. I've always just unplugged it when the light on the charger turned green. Apparently I haven't been getting a solid/balanced charge (pretty much) since I got it a year ago. Thanks so much for the vid.

Thank you! Amazing explanation and education right there. I've had my XR since one month before you (Oct 2018) and I've never taken it off the charger for any reason other than to ride it. So for four years (and 3500 miles) it's been charging. As you said - he less you worry about it the better. And I worry about it none. Although the safety factor you mention may need to come into play more with me. And my board gives me the same range that it did when I got it. I can't perceive any difference. And I've worried about it for not one second over those 4 years. That to me is worth the chance that I may have to replace it some day. But four years in and still perfect. I think the no worry route is best. Well except for the safety.

What's your explaining is called inrush current. When you plug the power supply into the wall there is a quick spike in current absorption due to charging the circuit. The same thing happens when you plug the power supply into the one wheel there's an inrush current as well. Inrush current happen in all modern switch mode power supplies at some level or another. The XR obviously has some voltage regulation and bulk capacitors that create an inrush spike to occur. The only real damage that occurs is the erosion of the connector to the board or AC plug. One way to help is to install a in-line AC plug switch they're cheap on Amazon and other places. This allows you to plug both plugs in and then hit a switch to activate. The load of the inrush arc and erosion will happen on the switch surfaces, good news is they're cheap to replace.

I got used to the whole "charge to 80%" mantra since I drive an electric car, so I don't feel I'm depriving myself by charging to 80%. It's not like I won't ever charge to 100%, it's just for my daily riding I try to keep the cycle close. If I'm going on a trail ride or a trip or something obviously I'm going to charge to 100%. I think it's perfectly reasonable to try to treat the battery well in the hopes of eking out more longevity, but I agree you shouldn't deprive yourself of use of the battery for the battery's health.

Such an awesome video. 21:54 - How long should one ideally leave the board plugged in after the charge light turns green? (each time they charge the board) or, what do you usually do? I imagine the time varies, but just so I have a rough idea of what we're talkin' about here. I don't know if you mean an extra hour, or far longer (without it just living on the charger). 28:40 - It seems we would have to know the BMS threshold to have a more accurate answer (I am hearing about these things for the first time lol), but yea a general guide would be cool. I liked the point at the end there with using only the middle part of the battery (percent-reading wise). How it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to just concede a chunk of the battery's ability now, in order to make sure you one day aren't maybe forced to concede a chunk of the battery. I'm curious about your thoughts on fast-charging. The ideal practice is apparently to use a slower charger, and then only use a fast charger when ya need to (group rides or whatever). The heat alone also seems to be a bit of a concern there.

No, that's not necessary. The lithium ion cells used in these packs don't need that sort of attention. They incur a cycle from an empty-to-full and full-to-empty charge/discharge. If you only go to half, and then charge it, that's chemically/electrically a half cycle. So you're free to use the board to 20%, 75%, etc. and just charge it. It won't have any appreciable effect on the longevity of the battery any more than any other cycle uses would.

Same goes for all my lithium power tools etc. Interestingly my Ego tools and there 54v batteries have a clever design that automatically drains them to around 50% if they are not used for a certain time frame, if only all lithium batteries did this, that would be so easy then.

Its a lot like the 80/20 rule, it really depends on personal use and how long you will use the device, faster charging has more potential to damage the battery but the exact damage is debatable, generally speaking its safe to charge a battery below the rate it discharges. Using a fast charger frequently is putting more charge cycles on a battery, that's going to cause performance loss regardless of the type of charger used so it's a trade of convience and longevity.

so i understand green light on the charger shows when the charing slows down to lvl charge the board, however the 100% charge app showing , is that a reliable way of knowing my board is full? or should i just do my maths as to required time span of charging and the % i started charging it at for full efficient charge times ???

What about battery temperature? On the Onewheel app. Why did my charge cable to the BMS burn out with the ultra charger if it’s advertised to be able to leave on charger over night but reaches temps as high as 130* F

We have a onewheel thay wasnt used for many months and wouldnt charge. We took it apart and tested the battery and now the pack reads shorted (0 ohm) between battery terminals. No signs of heat or melting on the pack from the dead short, but is it possible to bring it back to life? What component may have shorted?

Hi Mario, I’m hoping you can give me some insight/advice anyway to discharge my one wheel to storage level - other than riding it off? Here's my fix I'm in, I've been riding this fall and put a full charge in my XR +, I put a full charge in and now I've got snow and ice - not sure when the roads will clear enough to ride my charge down. How can discharge to a storage voltage? Thank you for any advice you could give me.

Hi Mario - I own a one wheel Pint. I haven't charged it in a couple months and now the light on the board isn't turning on when I plug it in. Is the battery dead? The charger block stays red

Great video about charging. Thank you. Is there a way to revive a onewheel battery if it wasnt charged for 1.5 years and now it doesnt get charged? I revived a 12v battery before by connecting a healthy battery to the dead one, so the charging device could see the batteries, do you know if there is a way to revive the onewheel without sending to the shop? by the way the dead onewheel i am talking about was purchased second hand and I would like to fix it for my kid. thank you

Hey Mario do you recommend dropping the charge to 1% before balancing?(lets say need some juice message pops at 10-20%) I put the board in a box, some weigh to the sensors and discharge to 1% . Is it 24-72HRS unreasonable to balance? Btw, 30min vide about how to charge, and I still want more.....😆🙌🙌

It doesn’t really matter all that much. Discharge level doesn’t have an effect on the cells as far as balance goes. The board dying at earlier percentages is usually the BMS miscalculating how much energy is left, or that the cells are so unbalanced that just leaving it plugged in isn’t going to do much in the long term. Imbalance is a symptom of a worn or bad pack, and 72 hour balance charges don’t really fix actual issues that may come up.

@@TheBoardGarage I'm a lil confused to be honest. Checking the cells & percentage with OWCE; at 10% cells were 2,86-2,96V. A few secs later the battery percentage crashed directly to 1% and the cells were at 2,6-2,82v. I had read that the recomended procedure was to discharge than balance for a couple of days (once a month or so for maintenance) If you say there isnt much effect to discharge at 1%, I'm pretty happy since its a pain in the A$$ to do so :) BTW thanks for the quick reply ;)

Discharging the pack doesn’t usually do anything for the cells. It may help the BMS to get a more accurate sense of the range from top to bottom of the charge, but if it is going down below 2.7v per cell and still reading 10%, then that’s pretty far off. Chances are the pack is worn out and it’s dropping in voltage faster than the BMS expects it to, since the percentage meter isn’t based on voltage, it’s based on how much energy is consumed.
